watershed 5k and apple picking
1 Oct
my time today was a full 2 minutes faster than the 5k I ran two weeks ago. then we went apple picking. now, naturally, I’m icing/heating my achilles…
debut

so here’s the deal. I have tendonitis in both my achilles. it sucks. it started about a year ago on my right side, then about 6 months later on my left. it makes running painful. it makes walking painful. it makes wearing flats and tennies painful (yep, even my running shoes, even the cute ones!). it’s a good excuse to drink wine. okay I don’t really need an excuse, it’s just nice to have a back-up. know what helps? wedges, heels, anything that keeps that tendon from stretching. wedges are especially good because they keep my whole foot supported. my doc suggested orthotics. yeah. right. I’ll wear the splint to bed but I’m not wearing orthotics. I don’t wear granny panties, I’m not wearing granny shoes. so here are my new wedges. they were on clearance, I’d have lost money if I didn’t buy them, right? my other new shoes to be shown soon… they might not have been on clearance…
ouch

after a 5K on saturday then another 4.6mi on sunday, tendonitis in both my achilles had me on the couch most of the day alternating ice and heat. it was a great excuse to not to do a darn thing all day.

took my mom to Napa Valley, CA for her 85th birthday. It was JUST US for 3 whole days. Loved it. More pics of our stay at RustRidge Winery and B&B on my flickr page.

my new astronaut buddy will spend 6 hours under water at NASAs Neutral Buoyancy Lab. With all the weights he has on, that suit weighs 300lbs.
5k kind of morning
13 Aug
if the last 1.5 miles hadn’t been uphill the whole way it would have been a great race. it was still a perfect morning for a run.

I was hoping the cute bows would cheer me up today. 18yo daughter moved to phoenix, az. the bows didn’t help. altho, I can’t blame her, she’s just like her mom…
brown sketchers. and kodi.

they actually have a really cute owl on the side, I wish I had thought to snap it. I’ll be sure to get the side next time.
tie dye day
7 Aug
four of the teenagers were tiedying out by the pool today. one kid thought it would be a good idea to skip the gloves.

on really hectic days even a short lunch break is better than no lunch at all.

I actually had on some wedges, but went to the gym after work (because standing all day isn’t quite enough). By the time I remembered I needed to post an spd I had already kicked off my shoes…and gotten my wine.

bob’s pool shoes (crocs) and ashley’s work shoes (asics) … kodi and juneau hoping for a treat
